Green & Co. 8 report on cotton futures SAYS:
1T has been n holiday market, with the turn
mainly in sellers favor The cable brought no
news of especially noteworthy character beyond
the continuation of fairly cheerful accounts re
garding the general condition of trade and an
English crop estimate of American cotton at
6S50000 bales The latter, however, fell very
dat the room paying most attention to the
comparatively small movement at the ports
and becoming stimulated thereon to the extent
of i0@1l points, with the close pretty well sus
tanned. The demand embraced no really new
business and was almost wholly TO cover, shorts
thinking It. wisdom to risk nothing while await
ing the next session, which does not take place
until Tuesday. 9Th inst"
